NATO has already entered into direct conflict with Russia.

Axar.az reports that this was said by the leader of the Donetsk separatists, Denis Pushilin.

He said that the gathering of the forces of the alliance near the Russian borders was noticeable long before the start of the "special military operation".

"NATO has been involved in the conflict from the very beginning and is showing its presence more openly every day. "We see the supply of weapons to Ukraine, the rearming and training of NATO forces, the deployment of new combat groups in the southeast of Europe and the Baltic states," Pushilin said.
